That they happen to have him in them is neither here nor there. That's what I'd like to think anyway. Or maybe it's just to laugh at his hair, which in The Sorcerer's Apprentice is looking utterly ludicrous.
He's in a similar position on the movie star scale to say, Mel Gibson before he got so crinkly and crazy. Although Mel was at least good looking - once upon a time. Cage has never been.
100% agree with you.
I thought Mel was a better actor than Cage and had better hair.
